bulgaria, greece, those sorts of countries would be heavily affected. a milderform of brexit, where even if the uk leads the single market it is able to mimic some of the single market attributes in the new trading relationship, if it still makes some contributions to the eu budget, then the impact is actually pretty marginal. british chancellor philip hammond is bringing a large delegation of british businesses here to try to drum up trade in india. you think india can really fill in that gap is a strong business partner for the uk. fill in that gap is a strong business partner for the ukw certainly can. we have noticed in the country ‘s operating where we work, they used to depend, ten or 15 yea rs work, they used to depend, ten or 15 years ago, very much on western europe as an economic locomotive. so you saw lots of supply in the supply industries, growing up to serve the german, french, italian, british markets. that is changing as these countries increasingly look to asia, including india and the gulf of persia, and the far east, for new sources o

to pay for in this £50 billion except bill, including polish roads, rail routes and dentists in bulgaria leave including projects that have not even begun. but we did agree to help fund them because they we re agree to help fund them because they were still in. it is a contract. it is so cut and dry. they are able to deduct... is it cut and dry? yes. i think everything is up for argument. let me put it this way, the way they came up with a £60 billion, 60 billion euros thing or whatever, they deducted certain things that they deducted certain things that the uk promised to do and it came out to 60 billion euros. now, whether that is going to be paid is another thing. it is not hard to find out what it is. it is a list. it is there. it does exist. it is all a lot of creative accounting going on. there are numbers all across these stories and you think, really, is it the full truth of what we have to pay? and whether we will have to pay for some of the other projects that it has already committed to pay for. if anyone thinks it will be clean, done and dusted... and that it will last two ye

romania, bulgaria. even russia are not really at ease with him now because of...y, the erdogan legacy, he was elected simply because he presented himself as a moderate muslim. a democratic man. a very progressive development, a good economy. now if you look at the situation, he is not democratic, he is arresting journalists more than mozambique, for example, again the economy is going down. it has lost almost 50% of its value. i would like to speak. my turn to speak. let me finish. i believe, honestly, we do not know what will happen in this referendum. he is already sacking ministers. my turn! i think we have to go back and look at some of the things and try and understand. one thing we always used to say in africa, leaders used democracy to get elected then clung on. now we see it happens everywhere. everywhere. the thing is, when turkey was a secular democracy, a muslim country with a secular constitution, it had all these very well—placed safety nets, freedoms, it's when that path went towards the islamification of turkey... i am a muslim, i do not want the is

if you look at estonia and lithuania and poland and bulgaria and romania, security is their primary considerationo suggestion that the british position in nato would be affected, they will be very conscious of their eastern border with russia and they would develop long-standing friendships with the u.k. on that asus. scandinavia is funded out of the city of london and through the city of london. they share a finance minister. they would have concerns about any importance of the city of london as a source of capital for the scandinavian economies. there are a range of possible groupings of countries around specific issues. negotiationshe proceed, the open position is very clear. at theremainders are european union set of the table and the u.k. is not. vonnie: could there be different types of agreements when it comes to different matters so that if the eastern european countries have more say in the portion about security and scandinavia more on the portion about banking. do you see it happening that way? michael: i don't envision it happening this way. on specific issues, if the british authorit

in june of 1942 the senate unanimously approved three separate resolutions declaring war with bulgariaromania. all three resolutions said war had been thrust upon the united states by those countries. throughout history congress has officially declared war just 11 times but also agreed to additional resolutions authorizing the use of military force. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. >>> i'm brian stelter and it's time for "reliable sources." this is our weekly look at the story behind the story, how the media works, how the news gets made. in this hour how a narrative gets made. another tough week for president trump. so what does he do? reignites his war against the news media. speaking of that, today has been declared international fact checking day so does the white house get it mostly true or pants on fire grade for this week? the top editor of politifact is on. this weekend there's a new report about the fact that fox star bill o'reilly harassed them and the secret settlement payments that are being revealed. it's all included i

so one thing for nato to do something successful is transform, even changed name, because bulgaria...ic, you have to change it to international anti—terrorist organisation, and then russia will join, china willjoin, all european countries willjoin join, china willjoin, all european countries will join and join, china willjoin, all european countries willjoin and will have a common cause to succeed. countries willjoin and will have a common cause to succeed. now it's a waste of money. thank you. anna wieslander, what kind of additional commitment would you suggest of the estonians? i think the estonians are doing a lot of commitments, i think it's good you spend 2% on defence. i don't agree with edward, i think we need that. if russia wants to regain trust, they could return crimea to ukraine and stop the war. applause you know for global questions we asked people to tell us their comments online and so on. i will give you a taste of the kind of thing we have been getting on social media. one says, do you think the appeasement of putin by trump would lead to invasion of the baltic stat

and the answer, in 1932 the senate confirmed two resolutions declaring war with bulgaria, hungary andee resolutions said war had been thrust upon the united states by those countries. throughout history, congress has officially declared war just 11 times, but also agreed to additional resolutions authorizing the use of military force. thanks for all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. >>> happening now in the newsroom. the russian cloud over the white house. >> the president has said he feels somewhat vindicated by what nunes has said about these documents. can you understand why chairman nunes might have some issues with the surveillance that was going on? >> well, i can't go into the contents of the documents, jake, and i think that the answer to the question is this effort to point congress in other directions. basically say don't look at me, don't look at russia. there's nothing to see here. >> the president has not once called me and said don't beat up on

the russians are now trying to influence elections in germany and russia and bulgaria and the man whoan this institute is tied to possible efforts to assassinate the montenegrin prime minister in montenegro, which may be why he lost his job in january. >> sreenivasan: ned parker, in these two documents, as you've discovered them, was there any mention of wikileaks or the computer hacking that intelligence agencies also believe the russians were involved in? >> no, there is no mention of wikileaks or the hacking, but i think you have to see these as they were described to myself and my colleagues, john wolcott and john landday. they were described as part and parcel of a campaign some the kremlin is a very top-down, authoritarian culture, so when these documents passed around, they only reinforced what everyone knew to do. so when you actually started to see the wikileaks dump happening, the russian affiliated media outlets, like u.s.... like russia today and sputnik and the troll factories outside of st. petersburg that pump news out on twitter and other outlets on the internet, they

for example, if i call somebody in bulgaria, and that's picked up somehow by our agencies and there'sthat when these reports came out, names were there and that is unprecedented. basically they say the information that's unmasking, these names of americans who had done nothing wrong was disseminated to all of nsc, all of dod, clapper and other people at the top. rice knew about this as well. i know there were and reports out there that she was the one who reported this. we do not know who record this because we have not spoken to devon nunez about it. so we don't know what papers he saw. our sources don't know what papers he saw. they just tell us about the information of unmasking names from donald trump and his team and his family was disseminated to a very select few at the top and was done so for a significant amount of time and that is blockbuster, guys. as far as we know hasn't been done at least in modern times when it comes to this type of thing. also as we look down at some of my notes here going through this, that there were also additional unmasking as well and, again, as f
